The pressure p, volume V and temperature T for a certain gas are related by p=AT−BT2V, where A and B are constants. the work done by the gas when the temperature changes from T1 to T2 while the pressure remains constant, is given by:
Given, P=AT−BT2V
⇒PV=AT−BT2
⇒PΔV=AΔT−2BTΔT
On integrating, we get
Work =∫PdV=A∫T2T1dT−2B∫T2T1TdT
=A(T2−T1)−B[(T2)2−(T1)2]
